Introduction
This guide explains the steps required to replace the fan inside the Xbox One S All Digital Edition (Model 1681). If the Xbox has symptoms such as producing noise or cooling issues, the fan might need to be replaced. While the disassembly is straightforward, some force might be required by the end of the procedure. Note that the entire console will need to be disassembled to properly remove the fan. Disconnect all cables prior to disassembly.
